At St Patrick’s this year, the school has really stepped up and ensured that it has brought back the fun since the Covid pandemic closed all schools down in the past two years.
In 2022, the school celebrated a multitude of activities.
One of the most important events was the return of the celebration of its Sacraments.
St Patrick’s was able to see its students take part in their First Communion, the Sacrament of Confirmation and soon to be celebrated, the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Together with Parish Priest, Fr Janeesh Jose and other parish support staff, St Patrick’s welcomed Bishop Greg Bennett (Diocese of Sale) who joined in these wonderful occasions.
The school welcomed its dads along with carers and guardians for a Father’s Day morning.
The dads were treated to fresh, hot coffee and spent the morning joining in with their child/ren as they played basketball, dancing, skipping and many other fun activities.
The students loved this opportunity to share their wonderful experiences of St Patrick’s.
Next, the school had its Book Week Parade which was hosted and run by its school captains. Each grade was called upon to do a ‘lap of honour’ with their teachers so their costumes could be admired.
It was incredible to see the fantastic effort many students went to, thanks no doubt to mums, dads and grandparents and their nifty sewing skills.
On days like this, seeing the students so happy to be at school with friends and family, is a dream come true.
St Patrick’s Primary School is at 136 Princes Highway, Pakenham. Call 5943 9000.
